I asked Brian about just a headstock finish and he said it was $400. Pat was going to charge $75 bucks. That is one of the reasosns I really wanted the Charcoal Grey JO too, to order a Lakland w/ blocks its like an $800 upcharge and this one arlready had them. Still want to get it refinned though, I'd love to hear your comments about Marty. Shoot me a PM if you get a minute.

sweet!!! And yea man, pretty sure we're on the same track...email sent to Leo, I'll be placing an order for a body soon.

I think I'll actually get a new body for the new shortie neck...and keep the matching headstock united with the firemist gold body, and new chis.

I wanna get the headstock of the shortie finished to match whatever the body is, but I'm not sure if they'll charge me $400 for that? :confused: I could just send it to Pat and have him do it...but ...I don't know. I'd prefer to just do all the business through Lakland and have it arrive as I would like it to without any weird maneuvering.

10 or 12 weeks ago my wife went to the doctor for her routine checkup. One of the tests came back abnormal...fast forward to 2 weeks ago, she had a hysterectomy. We had the follow up today and got the pathology report, her entire cervix was pre-cancerous with several spots of cancer. None of this had invaded her lymph nodes. The Dr. said had we waited a week longer for the surgery, the outcome would have likely been much different. She is cancer free with no chemo or radiation. She was so lucky, blessed or whatever you want to call it. We are both so relieved. I can't imagine what those who have gone through this with more invasive cancer feel like. Every moment with her during this hellish time has been a surreal mix of "is this the last time that she and I will do this?" and "what will I do if she doesn't make it" or "how will I comfort the kids". I was not this scared the entire time that I was deployed to the mid-East...I'm not sure why I am posting this here, it's therapeutic I guess. Love your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, whatever you have like there is no tomorrow. Embrace every moment. My beautiful Stefanie is going to live and I can't stop crying because I am so happy.

...to keep with the gist of the thread I'm selling a 44-02D. Not sure why, I think I want something with Chi-sonic humbuckers.

That is great news and you both are very lucky.

I am in week 7 (actually last 3 days) of Radiation and chemo and it has been brutal the last few weeks. All cancers are different and treatment regime is tailored to one's specific circumstances. Non smoker and non abusive drinker but cancer found its way to my tonsil anyway. Tonsil was removed on march 7 (my birthday...) and got the call 3 days later confirming it was cancer. because of where it is the tonsil touches lots of things around your throat area so the radiation for 33 days with chemo mixed in as an added "we didn't see it anywhere else besides the throat area but we do this as a precaution". fast forward to now and ytreatments are ending... never thought i would see the other end but i am convinced that positive attitude helps dramaically in dealing with the issue. My doctors all said i should lose 20-25% of my body weight. Started out about 206... so far i have lost about 6 pounds as i have just refused to give in. Plus if you stop eating, chewing and swallowing atrophies very quickly and that will slow down recovery time dramatically... which is why Sloane will not do feeding tubes as most others do..But Slaone is one of only several places that set the protocal so I ma sure they will change in the next few years.

2 observations from this ordeal as well as learning who your friends really are.....

Lots more well wishers and nice guys on TB than i expected as so many threats seem to bring out the ass hole side in some people. and believe or not simple stuff like that helps you get though each day...
How quickly leg muscles can atrophy if you become bed ridden for any period time. I am not bed ridden but I do try rest in a reclyner most of the time i am not being treated, examined....etc and I can physically see a huige differnce in my legs and arms already.

2 more days .....wish me luck

Are the lakland flats better or same as the GHS for less money. I know labella makes sadowskys flats but they are a different spec that Roger wanted. Not sure what the ghs/lakland situation is.
i want to put some flats on my Skyline HB and normally i use labellas but i think this bass wants to have more zing..... and i don't think the floppy TI's would fell right on this bass.

I really like the GHS Precision flats on my 44-64. They are silky smooth and sound incredible.
